The 17th edition of the Plastic Packaging, Corrugated, and Food Asia International exhibition and conferences recorded over $10 million business deals between foreign and local companies in different segments, according to the organizers.

Various exhibiting companies from Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, China, and Iran have received overwhelming responses from local delegates and visitors in the food and allied sectors, signing different business deals and MoUs for strategic partnerships in the future.

Director Ecommerce Gateway Uzair Nizam said the participation of foreign and local exhibitors and delegates at an impressive level is a testament to the unprecedented growth and flourishing economic activities within the food sector.

He added that new packaging technologies will help develop the local food producers, enabling them to export their made-in-Pakistan products to various countries and earn precious foreign exchange.

President Ecommerce Gateway Pakistan, Dr. Khursheed Nizam, said food security is an essential matter for every country and nation to achieve a self-sustainable level on a priority basis. Without technology and innovation, the development of the food and allied sectors remains out of the question; however, the event continues to contribute a significant role in providing a platform to all stakeholders for developing the food and allied sectors at an advanced level in Pakistan, he added.

The trade fair hosted various conferences on the hospitality and food industries, including the Food and Nutrition Conference, Solutions for Food Security and Sustainability in the Palestine and Lebanon Crisis, and Exploring Carrer Opportunities in the Hospitality Industry.

The 17th edition of Plastic Packaging, Corrugated, and Food Asia International began on October 29 and was inaugurated by the Provincial Minister for Industries and Commerce Jam Ikramullah Dahrejo. Over 225 exhibitors from seven countries are participating in this trade fair. Local associations, including the All Pakistan Restaurant Association and Karachi Association of Sweats, and Nimco supported the event as strategic partners.
